Measure Chemical Conditions with a Sensor Made for Embedded Projects

The Formaldehyde HCHO Sensor Gravity is an environmental sensor designed for water quality work, lab projects, and environmental monitoring. It is a practical fit for makers, students, and engineers who want reliable sensor data in embedded builds.

Key details include Detection Range: 0~5ppm; Input Voltage: 3.3~6V; Output Signal: Optional DAC(0.4~2V,for 0-5ppm) or UART(9600).

Important: Most gas and chemical sensors work best after warm-up and calibration. Readings can drift with temperature, humidity, and sensor age.
